Without trippeing a braker you can use 1500 watt,,ONE per breaker (You must find outlets on different circuits)2 of them on a 30 amp rig or several on a 50

Solution.. I have 4 special outlets
1:Washer/Dryer (This one is a 15/20 amp and well able to haul 12 amps)

Each outlet has a circuit breaker (Some 15 some 20) all to itself.. NO problems
Before I did that I had problems with hot-wire smell..Others have had failures.
AVOID ANY OUTELET POWERED BY THE INVERTER... if you have one that is.
